Click through the slideshow to tour Mr. Wonka's creation!

US Post Office Gingerbread House

Every year, the Farley Post Office on 8th Avenue in New York is home to “Operation Santa”. What better place to celebrate the launch of the USPS's new holiday-themed "Forever" stamp series, which features images of gingerbread houses? In the post office's famous vaulted lobby, we built a life-size gingerbread home.

Stay back! No nibbling!You've got mail! The loving attention to detail on the house has everyone in the lobby stopping to look.Our design was inspired by the brand new limited-edition "Gingerbread House" stamps.

Each colorful pair had a matching hammock beneath it, for lounging.Bands and singer-songwriters played all afternoon on each day. Gwen Sebastian, Holly Williams, and the Marshall Tucker Band all took the stage.Inside, an interactive photo booth stage offered guests a chance to get their twang on (or at least pretend!).
